The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 36 Classic Cannon Fodder

"Understood!" Lu Renkui said, then closed his eyes and waited for the time travel to be completed.

When Lu Renkui opened her eyes again, she was already in a room.

The room was crammed with books, with a bed and a table, on which was a QR code. The table was also piled high with books, and there was a cup of coffee with ice.

The table faces the window, and you can see from the window that the building is quite tall. There is a small platform outside the building, just big enough for a person to stand on.

Lu Renkui looked around the room, marveling at how hard the original owner of this body studied, as the room was piled high with books, before suddenly realizing that this seemed to be a study room.

Lu Renkui was immediately shocked by the school's wealth after hearing the original owner's admiration for her love of studying: "A single study room! That's incredibly expensive!"

When Lu Renkui wanted to go to the window to see how high the floor was, she was stopped by the system WQBYRZM.

The system WQBYRZM said, "Wait a minute, let me finish explaining the current situation to you: Maria Elisa is currently in a single study room on the tenth floor, and the male protagonist will rush up to the tenth floor to kill people in thirty minutes—why is the male protagonist starting to kill from the top floor first—During these thirty minutes, Maria Elisa's friends will come to find her."

"Our primary task now is to escape the male protagonist's attacks with Maria Elisa's friend, Alina, to the greatest extent possible. Our secondary task is to rescue as many people as possible; the more people we rescue, the more points we will get."

Upon hearing this, Lu Renkui immediately began searching his body, trying to find something like a cell phone that could contact the outside world.

Finally, Lu Renkui found something on her wrist that looked like a watch. She heard the system WQBYRZM explain that it was a quantum computer, a common communication tool in interstellar literature.

After opening the personal terminal, Lu Renkui found the person who could support Maria Elisa in the shortest time by following the interpersonal relationship diagram of Maria Elisa given by the system WQBYRZM—the villainous big boss, Maria Elisa's non-blood-related brother, Ancadis.

Lu Renkui first leaned against the window to make sure that the platform outside the window was not only big enough for people to stand on, but also big enough to sit on. Looking into the distance, he saw a person running towards the library in a strange posture, judging by the speed, he estimated that it would take about 10 minutes.

Lu Renkui found the call function on the computer and made a call to Ankadis.

Lu Renkui thought it would take a long time for the villainous boss to answer the phone, since the villainous boss was almost always dealing with work in the original text. Unexpectedly, the call was answered in just one second after it was dialed.

"Lisa, what's wrong?" A pleasant male voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone light and cheerful, and one could imagine that the person on the other end was answering the phone with a smile.

However, Lu Renkui was not in the mood to be a voice controller at the moment. She looked at the original plot given by the system WQBYRZM and said, "Ankes, I saw someone running with a strange posture. His face was red and his whole body was covered with blue veins. He was running towards the library."

On the other end of the phone, in Ankadis's office, Ankadis, who had been all smiles, gradually lost his smile after hearing what his dear "Liasa" said.

Ankadis first reassured "Maria Elisa," and after hanging up, he quickly contacted the security department of Kinkles Military Academy, where he and Maria Elisa were located, and ordered them to go to the library immediately to stop a person suspected of having berserk disease.

Ancadis himself immediately rushed out of the office, jumped onto the small spaceship, and flew towards Maria Elisa.

In the library, Lu Renkui searched his body for any items he could use to fight back, and found a small knife; then he searched through Maria Elisa's bag and found a laser gun in the innermost layer of the bag.

Lu Renkui, who had only ever seen guns on TV and next to armored trucks since childhood, asked: How do you use this thing?

Lu Renkui found something that looked like a lever, turned the gun towards the wall, and fired a shot at the wall.

With a "bui~", a burst of blue light shot out from the muzzle of the gun, leaving a charred hole in the wall. Through the hole, which was about the size of her palm, Lu Renkui could clearly see the scene outside.

Lu Renkui, who only gets to experience shooting when playing VR shooting games, gasped and carefully placed the gun where he could easily reach it, so that he could immediately pick it up and shoot the male protagonist's most vulnerable spot when he attacked, thus buying himself time to escape.

There was a knock on the door outside the study room. Lu Renkui called out, "Come in."

The door opened, and a girl with short, curly brown hair entered. She was a bit shorter than Maria Elisa, about half a head shorter. She wore black-rimmed glasses. Lu Renkui recognized her as Maria Elisa's good friend, Alina.

Alina waved excitedly at Maria Elisa and said, "Lisa, look what I made!"

Lu Renkui looked at the flashlight-like object in Alina's hand and guessed, "An enhanced flashlight?"

"No, this is a super flashlight that can blind an enemy halfway through their life. It can keep them blind for 130 seconds!" Alina proudly waved the super flashlight in her hand.

"Wow, really? That's amazing." Lu Renkui smiled and walked over, welcoming Alina into the house and locking the door behind her.

"I'll demonstrate it for you right now." Alina excitedly ran to the window and shone her light on the mountain opposite the library. For a moment, the entire mountain was as bright as day. Lu Renkui could even faintly hear roosters crowing in the distance.

"Isn't it powerful? Let me tell you, walking at night with this not only makes you safer, but it can also keep bad guys away," Alina said, shining the light down below.

"Oh no, I shone it into someone's eyes—but he looks very strange." Alina saw that her flashlight had shone on a person, and the person in the light was kneeling on the ground in pain.

Lu Renkui hurriedly went over to check and found that Alina's flashlight was shining on the male protagonist, who had changed from a furious sprint to a dark and twisted crawling and howling as he entered the library.

"No, does he really have to run into the library to kill someone?" Lu Renkui watched the male protagonist downstairs inching his way into the library like a maggot, and couldn't help but ask the system WQBYRZM in Maria Elisa's consciousness space.

System WQBYRZM replied: "I've read three novels that are inspired by this universe. The male protagonist, Aralia, is having an attack and going into heat today. The reason he came to the library is because the main character, the bottom, is in this library. The pheromone scent on the bottom character can effectively alleviate his frenzy."

"Generally speaking, at this time, the protagonist (uke) would be studying in the study room on the 10th floor. However, today the protagonist (uke) was dragged to another floor by the second male lead (seme). The original owner of this body chose this study room to study today. The male lead (seme), who was having an episode, didn't see the uke and started killing everyone he saw. His illness is that he can't control himself and kills innocent people indiscriminately. So, stay in the hospital and don't come out. This is probably why he insisted on starting the killing from the top floor."

After hearing the system's answer, WQBYRZM, Lu Renkui mentally labeled the male lead, Aralia, as a "lunatic."

I just called for backup, Lu Renkui thought. Elina is next to me, and people can stand on the platform outside. The door is locked from the inside, which can hold back Alaria's attack to some extent.

When Alaria wants to enter this room, simply open the window and stand on the platform with Alina.

The reinforcements should arrive soon; after all, this villainous boss, aside from anything else, seems quite reliable according to the original description. Lu Renkui opened the window and moved some heavier items to the doorway, hoping to buy Alaria a little more time to break down the door.

"Liasa, what are you doing?" Seeing "Maria Elisa" nervously moving things in front of her, Alina couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

“That guy downstairs looks dangerous, Lily,” Lu Renkui explained to Alina. “The library elevator has been broken for a long time, and we’re likely to run into him if we go down now. It’s safer here.”

“I brought a laser gun, don’t be afraid.” Lu Renkui stepped forward and hugged the trembling Elina Yi. Elina Yi is also described in the original text; she is the most capable assistant to the villainous boss Ankadis. However, before Maria Elisa died, Elina Yi was rather timid.

The two stood by the window and looked out. After a while, Lu Renkui saw a group of people in uniforms arrive. They surrounded the library, and several of them entered the building carrying riot shields and guns.

Lu Renkui asked Alina to turn on her flashlight so that people coming over would see that they were all there.

People downstairs saw them. Lu Renkui had already seen someone take out their phone, presumably to call the rescue team.

First came a series of heavy, rapid footsteps outside the door, followed by a violent thud. The bed and table that Lu Renkui had moved to the doorway were shaken.

The two girls felt the ground shaking.

The male protagonist, Aralia, has now arrived at the entrance of this study room.

Seeing that things were going badly, Lu Renkui grabbed the laser gun from the table and stuffed it into his pocket. He then scooped up Alina, opened the window, climbed over the windowsill, and stood on the small platform outside.

Looking down at the height below, where one misstep would mean certain death, Lu Renkui looked up, took a deep breath to calm himself down, then lowered his head and carefully carried Alina Yi, moving her to the side step by step.

The wind blew by, carrying an unpleasant smell.

Lu Renkui could hear her heart pounding like thunder in her chest. She gritted her teeth, walked to the water pipe, sat down with the pipe by her arm, and placed Alina, whom she was holding, next to her.

The noise downstairs grew even louder, with a large crowd gathered. You could see campus guards, firefighters who had just arrived, and a huge group of military academy students in uniforms all huddled together in a chaotic mess downstairs.

Lu Renkui got used to sitting for a long time, but her legs still felt numb and dangling, which was a bit uncomfortable.

But Elina was a different story; she clung tightly to Maria Elisa's arm, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Outside the study room, the male protagonist was still banging on the door. Lu Renkui guessed that the table on the bed had been knocked off—because she heard the books on the table crashing to the floor, probably scattered everywhere. There was also the sound of a cup breaking on the floor.

"Is coffee spilled all over the floor?" Lu Renkui wondered.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." Lu Renkui gently patted Alina's back to comfort her.

Soon, firefighters remotely controlled a flying white disc to come up.

Seeing that Alina was really scared, Lu Renkui helped her move onto the white disc.

After Alina settled in, she placed the super flashlight into Maria Elisa's hand.

“Very, very fast, Lisa, very soon. I’ll give you this for self-defense; when that guy comes, shine it in his face. I’ll be down soon, and this machine will come up. No, they should have other machines too.” Alina’s voice trembled with fear.

Lu Renkui took the super flashlight and waved to Alina to reassure her.

Alina flew down, and Lu Renkui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Alina was about to reach the ground. Then there was a sound of metal being smashed, followed by the sound of various heavy objects being overturned, several heavy footsteps, and then a crisp sound of glass shattering. Some shards of glass fell past Lu Renkui, who was inside Maria Elisa's body.

Aralia kicked the door open.
